Generally foundation is composed of complicated multi - layers. Primary objective of this study is to perform numerical analysis on the distribution of stresses on the subgrade with the variation of constitutive equations, the structures and the depth of layer, rigidity, loading condition, etc. Multi - layered soils has been treated as Burmister's elastic model. However, in this research it was intended to analyzed the distribution of stresses on the subgrade with all of the multi - layered soils by using the EVP(elasto - viscoplastic) model, one of the numerical program based on the Biot's equation as governing equation. The numerical results are compared with those by the Burmister's and the Fox'method, which in turn proves to be satisfactory. This research is aiming at investigating the mechanism of stress transfer within a foundation by using computer program for multilayers foundation.
